Abstract:	Climate change is a global threat affecting all ecosystems and societies in the world. Temperature rise, changes in precipitation patterns, and increases in the frequency and intensity of extreme events such as droughts, floods, and storms have been extensively documented by scientists in the last decades, and are a reality across most of the planet. As research and policy initiatives on the interface among Indigenous Peoples and local communities, their knowledge systems, and climate change have evolved in the last decades, new research topics, perspectives, and refined understandings also have emerged. The way in which Indigenous Peoples and local communities experience climate change impacts is also historically and socially constructed, as demonstrated by Carmona. While exploring synergies and complementarities between different knowledge systems allows building an 'enriched picture' of climate change impacts, there are still many barriers to the actual engagement of Indigenous and local knowledge into climate policy and action.
